This Solstice

Today was the summer solstice. A year ago today, we had our housewarming party to celebrate moving into our very first house. A week from today I’ll have my fourth chemo treatment (12 more to go after that).

Before I’m done with chemo, I’ll have another book out that I’ve illustrated. Soon after I finish chemo, my first novel, The Blue Jar, will be published (A cheer for my publisher!) and I’ll turn 45. Around Christmas I’ll have more surgery. Eventually, sometime, I hope sooner rather than later, my hair will grow back.

My son will start 5th grade.

The closer it gets to my novel’s release date, October 12th, the more real that will seem. Right?

Oh. And the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special will air! Fantastic. Lots to look forward to this year.
